I recently discovered that "left/right arrow+Ctrl" jumps word by word
instead letter by letter, so if you need to edit something that is in the
middle of the command, this way you go faster :-P

"Quid Pro Quo" as Dr. Hannibal Lecter would have say :-)
Lina!! Thanks much!!
I was looking for such option (a "home/end" keyword replacement) as my
netbook also lacks of it but still not found it... until your post :-D
"crtl-e" seems to jump the cursor at the end of the line. Great!

but really appreciate for those helpful answering.

GNU Readline mimics closely the key bindings of GNU Emacs. In
particular, there's also incremental search backward (C-r) and
forward (C-s ^1) over the history, multi-level cut (C-u, C-k,
M-DEL, M-d) and paste (C-y; M-y for cycling over the contents of
the kill ring), M-< and M-> to get to the first and the last
command in the history, respectively, …
^1 … provided that it's passed to the application; one may require to
re-bind or turn off the “stop” (C-s by default) key for that
with stty(1).

It's a fictional film/book character. Those who have seen the film maybe
remember the scene when he says the above sentence :-)

There are no naive questions but dumb answers. We all are here to
learn ;-)

I am compelled to note that all of these are fully documented in the
bash manual.
